Below are the step-by-step instructions on how to integrate and start accepting payments using your Authorize.net account.
Important: Authorize.net does NOT allow customer purchases via Debit/Prepaid cards at this time.
Important: Make sure in Authorize.net that you signup and enable the Customer Information Manager.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Altering your Authorize.net API keys after the connection with PayKickstart has been made is strongly discouraged!
After integrating with Authorize.net, changing your API keys in Authorize.net would prevent our system from being able to contact Authorize.net to attempt rebills for any existing subscriptions before the Authorize.net API key was changed.
If you change the API keys, then existing subscriptions created prior to the change will need to update their billing via the billing portal in order to connect with the new Authorize.net API key and continue the subscription billings.
In the Configure ⚙️ Menu select Integrations.
Select Payment in the drop down Menu and activate Authorize.net and enter the required fields:
Choose an Account Name for display purposes within your PayKickstart account and select the Base Currency as well.
To integrate with Authorize.net, you’ll need your API Login ID, API Transaction Key, and API Client Key.
